The USA earned a shock victory over Ireland in an historic Twenty20 international between the sides in Florida.
The series is the first time a full ICC member has faced the USA on American soil, and the hosts emerged victorious by 26 runs.
The USA lost four early wickets for just 16 runs in Lauderhill, including captain Monank Patel with only the second ball of the match, but rallied to post 188 for six from their 20 overs.
🌟 UNBELIEVABLE win for #TeamUSA🌟 They defeat Ireland by 27 runs!!!
